Stylizer is a slightly different CSS editor than the other ones as it uses a grid interface instead of a text editor, and it has Firefox and IE embedded, so when the user changes the CSS, it’s propagated right away to the browser. The grid system makes CSS feel like “CSS on rails”, because it makes it impossible to have any CSS errors. It lets Stylizer do things such as a Firebug-like element inspector that lets the user diagnose and edit in the same place, with an editable, spotlight-style filtering system. In Stylizer, dimensions can be adjusted on the fly. To change height, a margin, or a background-position, the user can literally click on the value, drag the mouse around, and watch the element be manipulated in real time. Colors are the same. The user can click on them, drag the mouse, and see the color of the text, background, or border change in the browser in real-time, creating a “Photoshop for the web” type feeling. Stylizer Basic is free. The premium version (Price: $69.95) isn’t that different, however in a free version it’s impossible to filter a style sheet to only show rules with specified content.
